Moot, you're making a lot of absolute statements about YOUR OPINION and not overall fact. At least I understand that others might not fly the way I do.
None of the things I said aren't very easily measurable.. It's not subjective at all to say that no one needs to pull 8G's (or whatever the wet wings' limit is) in the 152, routinely.. It's not hard to show that you have a lot more to lose from having less fuel in the wings so that you can pull some crazy Gs without braking the wings, at the expense of fuel in the aft tank which thoroughly destabilizes the plane, than it is to just take it easy (and I don't mean fly like a granny either) with the Gs and drain the aft tank.
It's not subjective to say that in most situations, the 152 has more to gain from one than the other.
Oh, and the "prove it" is a BS argument. On one hand you have a 70L tank that never drains, and no counter balance on the other wing. On the other hand you have a 70L tank that never drains, and an equal but opposite aux tank in the other wing. Common logic says the one that is balanced brings more benefit.
It's not a BS argument. It's a valid question. Prove your case... I didn't say you were wrong to suggest that particular point, I said "prove it". Let's see some numbers, not just argument by principle. One's a quality, the other's quantity.
+-100lbs 2.75m from the centerline of a 10klbs airplane. Show us the magnitude of the flaw you're asking to be fixed.
No matter what your OPINION of the effects, there is an effect modeled. One is balanced. One unbalanced. Simple physics. The balanced one is going to stall more evenly (in my opinion) because the left wing, which stalls first, isn't going to be significantly heavier than the right wing, which stalls last. [EDIT: Note that even if a minor change in handling, you cannot deny that a balanced plane will stall better than an unbalanced one. Try stall fighting a f4u1 with a full left tank and empty right tank, and you tell me if the stall is better or worse)
Yeah and the part of your proposal that's unbalanced is the one that says we'd have a net benefit from not emptying the AFT tank first (etc, it's the fourth or fifth time I write it). The only valid point you have wrt fill/drain order is that small 18gal volume on the right side. Everything else is just fine as is.
And like I said via PM, the F4U is not a 152. Why don't you, yourself, go flog the 152 with no fuel in the wings and come back here to write it's unstable. That's one thing I can post film of, if needed.
P.P.S. You want the H-0 so HTC removes the weight of the GM1 in the tail. Rather hypocritical for you to go on and on about me wanting to balance out the MW50 in the wing, eh?
Umm No... One is a pretty sizable difference, the other is very minor and won't be noticed by more than a handful of players. Don't call me a hypocrit again.
